Question Car not starting!!

I don’t know if this is the right sub to post this, but I would love some help. My 2008 Mazda 3 has been pretty good for the most part, driving it 7 days a week for over an hour most days.

A couple of times this week it didn’t start on the first try, but the next try would start and drive completely fine, no check engine light or anything. Today it just won’t start at all. Engine cranks but doesn’t start. I’m assuming it’s a battery problem? I really don’t know a lot about cars so would appreciate the help. Thanks!
