1. **State the problem:** Ms. Joseph has 2 pounds of tomatoes and wants to put 2 pounds in each bowl. We need to find out how many bowls she will use.
2. **Write the division equation:** To find the number of bowls, divide the total pounds of tomatoes by the pounds per bowl.
$$\text{Number of bowls} = \frac{\text{Total pounds}}{\text{Pounds per bowl}}$$
3. **Substitute the values:**
$$\frac{2}{2}$$
4. **Simplify the division:**
$$\frac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{2}} = 1$$
5. **Interpret the result:** Ms. Joseph will use 1 bowl to hold all 2 pounds of tomatoes if she puts 2 pounds in each bowl.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{1}$$ bowl will be used.
