Javascript in HTML not calling correctly

I'm trying to create a simple website using basic java script but I think i'm not able to call to the file correctly have tried multiple sources online but to no success. Can you have a look at my code and tell me what's wrong ?

html: 

<html>
<head>
<script src="js/js1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
The total number of square feet in your house is:<br>
<script src="js/js1.js">test()</script>square feet.

js:

function test() {
    var test = 15;
    document.write(test);
    return test;
}

Base on @MoustafaS's answer, your js file can be fixed:

function test() {
    var test = 15;
    document.write(test);
    return test;
}

Then call it in HTML:

<script>test()</script>

I think you have put an > after test() for which there is an Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input

<script src="js/js1.js">test()></script>square feet.

<head>
<script>
function test() {
    var test = 15;
    document.write(test);
    return test;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
The total number of square feet in your house is:<br>
<script>test()</script> square feet.

This:

<script src="js/js1.js">test()></script>

Should be:

<script>test()</script>
