BIP39 Path in Ledger Nano S

On a Ledger Nano S, you are given a BIP39 24 word mnemonic. What is the path to the address used? Is it m/44’/144’/0’/0/0 ?

Say for example I use the address generated by the Ledger Nano S to store ripple. But then I lose the device. I can generate an infinite number of addresses from the mnemonic, but I’d like to know which default path address holds the tokens.
